Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel microporous zirconium silicate compositions that are formulated to remove toxins, e.g., potassium ions or ammonium ions, from the gastrointestinal tract at an elevated rate without causing undesirable side effects.
- the compositions are manufactured to exhibit desired characteristics for the long term administration to treat or prevent the relapse or occurrence of certain conditions, i.e., hyperkalemia.
- Acute hyperkalemia is a serious life threatening condition resulting from elevated serum potassium levels.
- Potassium is a ubiquitous ion, involved in numerous processes in the human body. It is the most abundant intracellular cation and is critically important for numerous physiological processes, including maintenance of cellular membrane potential, homeostasis of cell volume, and transmission of action potentials. Its main dietary sources are vegetables (tomatoes and potatoes), fruit (oranges, bananas) and meat.
- the normal potassium levels in plasma are between 3.5-5.0 mmol/1 with the kidney being the main regulator of potassium levels.
- the renal elimination of potassium is passive (through the glomeruli) with active reabsorption in the proximal tubule and the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. There is active excretion of potassium in the distal tubules and the collecting duct, both of which processes are controlled by aldosterone.
- Hyperkalemia may develop when there is excessive production of serum potassium (oral intake, tissue breakdown). Ineffective elimination, which is the most common cause of hyperkalemia, can be hormonal (as in aldosterone deficiency), pharmacologic (treatment with ACE-inhibitors or angiotensin-receptor blockers) or, more commonly, due to reduced kidney function or advanced cardiac failure. The most common cause of hyperkalemia is renal insufficiency, and there is a close correlation between degree of kidney failure and serum potassium (S-K) levels. In addition, a number of different commonly used drugs cause hyperkalemia, such as ACE- inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g.
- beta-receptor blocking agents digoxin or succinyl choline are other well-known causes of hyperkalemia.
- advanced degrees of congestive heart disease, massive injuries, burns or intravascular hemolysis cause hyperkalemia, as can metabolic acidosis, most often as part of diabetic ketoacidosis.
- Symptoms of hyperkalemia are somewhat non-specific and generally include malaise, palpitations and muscle weakness or signs of cardiac arrhythmias, such as palpitations, brady- tachycardia or dizziness/fainting. Often, however, the hyperkalemia is detected during routine screening blood tests for a medical disorder or after severe complications have developed, such as cardiac arrhythmias or sudden death. Diagnosis is obviously established by S-K
- Treatment depends on the S-K levels. In milder cases (S-K between 5-6.5 mmol/1), acute treatment with a potassium binding resin (Kayexalate®), combined with dietary advice (low potassium diet) and possibly modification of drug treatment (if treated with drugs causing hyperkalemia) is the standard of care; if S-K is above 6.5 mmol/1 or if arrhythmias are present, emergency lowering of potassium and close monitoring in a hospital setting is mandated.
- the following treatments are typically used:
- Kayexalate® a resin that binds potassium in the intestine and hence increases fecal excretion, thereby reducing S-K levels.
- Kayexalate® has been shown to cause intestinal obstruction and potential rupture. Further, diarrhea needs to be simultaneously induced with treatment. These factors have reduced the palatability of treatment with Kayexalate®.
- Insulin IV (+glucose to prevent hypoglycemia), which shifts potassium into the cells and away from the blood.
- Calcium supplementation does not lower S-K, but it decreases myocardial excitability and hence stabilizes the myocardium, reducing the risk for cardiac arrhythmias.
- Bicarbonate The bicarbonate ion will stimulate an exchange of K+ for Na+, thus leading to stimulation of the sodium-potassium ATPase, dialysis (in severe cases).
- microporous ion exchangers are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,814,871, 5,891,417, and 5,888,472, each of which is incorporated herein in their entirety.
- zirconium silicate compositions may exhibit undesirable effects when utilized in vivo for the removal of potassium in the treatment of hyperkalemia.
- administration of zirconium silicate molecular sieve compositions is associated with an incidence of mixed leukocyte inflammation, minimal acute urinary bladder inflammation and the observation of unidentified crystals in the renal pelvis and urine in animal studies, as well as an increase in urine pH.
- the inventors addressed these problems by controlling particle size and sodium content of the zirconium silicate compositions. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,802, 152 and 8,808,750, each of which is incorporated herein in their entirety.
- zirconium silicate compositions have had issues with crystalline impurities and undesirably low cation exchange capacity.
- the reduction of more soluble forms of zirconium silicate is important to reduce or eliminate the systemic absorption of zirconium or zirconium silicate.
- the inventors addressed this issue by controlling production conditions in a way that essentially eliminates ZS-8 from the composition, resulting in undetectable levels of ZS-8. See U.S. Patent No. 8,877,255.
- zirconium silicate compositions are useful for long term use, for example, in the treatment of conditions associated with elevated levels of serum potassium.
- the use of zirconium silicate compositions in long term treatment regimens requires careful control of impurities, particularly lead, in the composition.
- the FDA sets the acceptance criteria for lead in compositions for extended use at 5 micrograms per day.
- zirconium silicates produced using known methods in industrial quantities contain approximately 1 to 1.1 ppm or more of lead. Even when zirconium silicate was prepared in smaller batches at higher purity (i.e., using reagent grade starting materials available from Sigma-Aldrich), the level of lead was found to be 0.6 ppm or more.
- zirconium silicate treatments utilize doses ranging from 5 to 45 grams per day, reduction in the level of lead is necessary.

- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The inventors have discovered novel zirconium silicate molecular sieve absorbers that address the need for extended use compositions having a low impurity profile.
- the zirconium silicate compositions meet the performance criteria for previously described zirconium silicate compositions, but also exhibit reduced impurities, particularly lead, which make the
- compositions suitable for extended use are provided.
- the inventors have designed a reactor for larger-scale production of high purity, high-KEC ZS-9 crystals. See U. S. Patent Nos. 8,802, 152; 8,808,750; and 8,877,255.
- the reactor 200 has baffle structures 204 on its sidewalls, which in combination with the agitator 201 provide significant lift and suspension of the crystals during reaction and the creation of high purity, high KEC ZS-9 crystals.
- the improved reactor can also include a cooling or heating jacket for controlling the reaction temperature during crystallization in addition to the baffle structures 204.
- the reactor has a volume of at least 20-L, more preferably 200-L, 500-L, 2000-L, or 5000-L, and within the range of 200-L to 30,000-L.
- the process flow for production of zirconium silicate is shown in Fig. 3.
- a silicate source To a reactor are added a silicate source.
- the prior processes capable of manufacturing zirconium silicate having the desired characteristics for oral administration used sodium silicate as a source of silicate.
- the process also uses 50% NaOH solution, water and zirconium acetate which are charged to the reactor shown in Fig. 3.
- a dryer Also shown is a dryer in which the raw zirconium silicate product is fed.
- the zirconium silicate is cleaned, protonated and dried in the drier to produce the desired zirconium silicate along with aqueous waste material.
- the silicate source is colloidal silica (Ludox®) rather than sodium silicate.
- the inventors found that replacing the sodium silicate in known processes for manufacturing high quality zirconium silicates is ineffective.
- the present invention is based on the inventors' discovery that the reactor should not be initially charged with the colloidal silica but instead added to previously mixed sodium hydroxide and water.
- the agitation rate must be increased after addition of the colloidal silica for at least twenty minutes in order to break silica bonds and obtain a well mixed solution. Additional aspects of the inventive process can be understood by reference to Example 2 below.
- the zirconium silicate according to the invention exhibits a lead content below 1 ppm. More preferably, the lead content ranges from 0.1 and 0.8 ppm, more preferably from 0.3 to 0.6 ppm, and most preferably from 0.3 to 0.45 ppm. In one embodiment, the lead content is 0.38 ppm.
- High capacity ZS-9 crystals were prepared in accordance with the following representative example.
- the reactants were prepared as follows. A 22-L Morton flask was equipped with an overhead stirrer, thermocouple, and an equilibrated addition funnel. The flask was charged with deionized water (8,600 g, 477.37 moles). Stirring was initiated at approximately 145-150 rpm and sodium hydroxide (661.0 g, 16.53 moles NaOH, 8.26 moles Na 2 0) was added to the flask. The flask contents exothermed from 24 °C to 40 °C over a period of 3 minutes as the sodium hydroxide dissolved. The solution was stirred for an hour to allow the initial exotherm to subside.
- Sodium silicate solution (5,017 g, 22.53 mole S02, 8.67 moles Na 2 0) was added.
- the sodium silicate was available from Sigma-Aldrich.
- zirconium acetate solution (2,080 g, 3.76 moles Zr0 2 ) over 30 min. The resulting suspension was stirred for an additional 30 min.
- the mixture was transferred to a 5-G Parr pressure vessel Model 4555 with the aid of deionized water (500g, 27.75 moles).
- the reactor was fitted with a cooling coil having a serpentine configuration to provide a baffle-like structure within the reactor adjacent the agitator.
- the cooling coil was not charged with heat exchange fluid as it was being used in this reaction merely to provide a baffle-like structure adjacent the agitator.
- the vessel was sealed and the reaction mixture was stirred at approximately 230-235 rpm and heated from 21 °C to 140-145 °Cover 7.5 hours and held at 140-145 °C for 10.5 hours, then heated to 210-215 °C over 6.5 hours where the maximum pressure of 295-300 psi was obtained, then held at 210-215 °C for 4 1.5 hours. Subsequently, the reactor was cooled to 45 °C over a period of 4.5 hours. The resulting white solid was filtered with the aid of deionized water (1.0 KG). The solids were washed with deionized water (40 L) until the pH of the eluting filtrate was less than 11 (10.54). A representative portion of the wet cake was dried in vacuo (25 inches Hg) overnight at 100 °C to give 1,376 g (87.1%) of ZS-9 as a white solid.
- the inventors have found, however, that material produced in accordance with this Example exhibits a lead content of 0.6 ppm.
- the lead content is determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).
- ICP-MS Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry
- the samples were prepared with a 0.1 g weighed portion mixed with 0.5 mL hydrofluoric acid, 2 mL nitric acid, 1 mL hydrochloric acid, and 1 mL purified water.
- the sample is digested using a closed-vessel microwave system at a maximum of 200°C until the material appeared dissolved. After cooling, internal standard solution was added and dilution with purified water to 50 g produced solutions for ICP-MS.
- the main contribution of lead to the zirconium silicate product comes from the reactants zirconium acetate and sodium silicate. This example illustrates that even when reagent grade materials (sodium silicate, zirconium acetate) are used as reactants, the level of lead can exceed that which is acceptable.
- This example illustrates the production of zirconium silicate from the reaction of sodium silicate and zirconium acetate in a 500-L reactor.
- Sodium silicate (148.8 kg) and water (100.1 kg) were added to a 500-L reactor and stirred at a rate of 200 rpm.
- Sodium hydroxide (37.7 kg) was added and the remaining water (100.2 kg) was added.
- the agitation rate was lowered to 80 rpm and zirconium acetate (62.0 kg) was added along with water (49.4 kg) and the reactor was allowed to mix for 25-35 minutes.
- the reactor was heated to react the materials 210 ⁇ 5°C for > 48 hours at 140 rpm.
- the resultant material was protonated to a pH of 4.75 to 5.25 and dried to a moisture content of ⁇ 5.0%.
- the composition has a volume weighted mean of 21.8 microns and a surface weighted mean of 13.56 microns.
- the material contains less than 0.05% of its volume under 1 micron, and less than 1.41% under 3 microns.
- the resultant material exhibits the characteristic XRD plot for ZS-9.
- this material having a reduced amount of particulate fines and lacking soluble forms of zirconium silicate (ZS-8) is suitable for oral administration, for example in the treatment of hyperkalemia.
- the inventors have found that the level of lead in the final product tends to be higher when the level of lead in the reagents is uncontrolled, which can be the case with bulk suppliers of these reagents. Similar levels of lead on the order of 1-1.1 ppm were observed when the reaction was conducted at a scale of 200-L and 500-L in reactor volume.
- This example illustrates the production of zirconium silicate from the reaction of colloidal silica and zirconium acetate in a 500-L reactor.
- the inventors found that in order to react colloidal silica with zirconium acetate, the process must include additional steps and different agitation rates.
- the colloidal silica process requires a step of increased agitation (200 rpm) for > 20 minutes to break silica bonds and obtain a well mixed solution.
- the inventors found that through this process the level of lead could be lowered below 1 ppm, and as shown below can be lowered to 0.38 ppm in a 500-L reactor.
- Sodium hydroxide (97.2 kg) is mixed with 84.5 kg of water and agitated at 150 rpm while 108.8 kg colloidal silica (Ludox®) is added. Agitation continues at the same rate while 10.5 kg water is used to clear the colloidal silica from the charge line into the reactor. Once the colloidal silica is charged to the reactor, the agitation is increased to 200 rpm for at least 20 minutes to break the silica bonds and obtain a well mixed solution. The agitation is reduced to 100 rpm while additional 52.9 kg water is added, and then increased to 200 rpm for at least five more minutes.
- the agitation is then decreased to 150 rpm while 81.0 kg of zirconium acetate is added over a period of approximately 30 minutes. Water (62.8 kg) is added and stirring continued for about 30 minutes prior to heating.
- the reactor is heated to 210°C as quickly as possible while mixing at 150 rpm.
- the reactor is maintained at 210 ⁇ 5°C for at least 36 hours.
- the material is protonated twice to a pH within the range of 4.75 to 5.25.
- the material is dried to a moisture content of less than 5% by heating at 160°C for 30 minutes.
- the particle size distribution of the resulting zirconium silicate prepared in accordance with this example is shown in Fig. 4.
- the composition exhibited a particle size distribution of about 2% below 3 microns.
- the XRD plot showed the characteristics for ZS-9, including that the tow highest peaks occur at approximately 15.5 and 28.9, with the highest peak occurring at approximately 28.9. There are undetectable levels of ZS-8 as shown by the absence of please within the range of 5-10 2-theta. See Figure 5.
- the resultant zirconium silicate was a white free flowing powder essentially free of debris and particulars.
- the FTIR spectra exhibited bands at approximately 799 and 917 cm "1 which were consistent with previously acceptable lots.
- the suitable FTIR spectra is shown in the inventors' prior patents.
- the pH of the resulting material was 9.
- the measured potassium loading capacity was 3.5 mEq/g.
- the zirconium content was about 21.7%, the silicon content was approximately 17%, and the sodium content was approximately 7.3%.
- the moisture content of the final product was 5%.
- the level of lead in the final product produced by the above process using colloidal silica was 0.38 ppm, which is a suitable level for the long term administration of this composition.
